Carmela didn't manage to run away after all.

caught a henchman of the empire who assassinated him twice, Atkins was also in a good mood, patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said, "You have a lot to do with catching Carmela this time!"

Shen Yi looked down at the heraldic hint, and he had added ten more contributions.

It stands to reason that he didn't have much to do in this battle, and he would have to deduct half of the ten points of contribution, but he reminded Atkins in time that he had the credit for the second rescue. The contribution of saving people for the second time was lower than that of the first time, so the cumulative contribution was still given to Shen Yi ten points.

This is also a restriction of the city, which does not allow repeated contributions to saving people - killing people is the duty of adventurers.

In addition to the ten points of contribution, Atkins's favorability of Shen Yi has also increased by another fifty points, and the favorability has reached 150, which is enough to start the summoning mission.

However, the task of taking away a general is quite difficult, considering that his strength is based on the technology of the Aaron Empire after all, and the effort is somewhat disproportionate to the return, so Shen Yi has no interest in accepting him.

However, he was quite interested in the hands that Atkins had just shown to shoot Carmela away, so he asked knowingly: "Pay attention to false praise, Shen Yi is ashamed, look at the strength of the general just now, and beat Carmela in one fell swoop, even if Shen Yi doesn't come, this woman is afraid that she can't kill the general." ”

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Atkins shook his head: "My off-hand skill is limited in power, mainly to block and fly, it looks good, but the lethality is limited, if you really want to fight hard, I am by no means Carmela's opponent." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Shen Yi somewhat understood.

Gunners can learn off-hand skills, but they are much more restrictive than regular skills.

In addition to not being able to master skills that require two-handed skills, ranged skills, group attack skills, and skills that can be applied to weapons, off-hand skills have an additional limitation that they must not deal more damage than other explosive skills.

For example, among Shen Yi's current explosive skills, the lowest damage is heavy artillery, with a lethality of 300 points, so the off-hand skill cannot be higher than this value, as for the special effects such as long-range attacks of heavy artillery, range attacks, and destruction of buildings, the off-hand skills are all ignored, anyway, they can't be higher than this damage value, even if you learn the S-level skills, the excess will be automatically deducted when you hit it.

This makes off-hand skills limited to low-level skills, and because of this, Shen Yi is not willing to waste points on off-hand skills with limited lethality.

But Atkins' use of off-hand skills made Shen Yi see a glimmer of light, and made him find that off-hand skills could still be used in this way.

Indeed, Atkins' triple strike just now has a very strong repulsion effect, and if it is combined with the high-powered guns in his hand, it can indeed double the gunner's combat power.

Maybe this is the direction that a melee gunner should look at, and the previous Shen Yi has finally taken a fork in the road in this regard.

Not only that, but knockback is a pretty useful effect in the city itself.

It has been said before that it is difficult for a high-agility adventurer to use his speed advantage to press and fight against a low-agility opponent, and the reason for this is that the speed of movement is completely different from the speed of his shot - no matter how fast Bolt runs, he cannot use his speed to suppress the opponent and not hit him, at best, he has a priority to shoot.

However, there is a way to avoid counterattacks to the greatest extent possible while striking the opponent, that is, to knock back - to inflict a knockback effect on the opponent by giving priority to the opponent, so that the opponent cannot counterattack himself.

The Berserk Samurai is an expert at this, with high power and high repulsion, so that any adventurer who thinks they have a speed advantage must be careful when facing the Berserk Samurai with a single blow to the ground into a rolling gourd.

Shen Yi didn't expect that Atkins could also play knockback, and the knockback effect was quite good.

If the Berserk Samurai achieves this effect purely by his own strength and weapon characteristics, then Atkins' knockback effect is even more obvious, which is the inevitable effect of his off-hand skill.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi's eyes lit up.

"What? do you want to learn?" Seeing Shen Yi's expression, Atkins asked with a smile.

Shen Yi suddenly knew in his heart that the opportunity had come.

Although he had also designed some off-hand skills before, Atkins' off-hand skills were tempered and modified by the city, and they were obviously more mature than Shen Yi's, so Shen Yi immediately bowed to the end: "Thank you, General!"

He didn't say that he wanted to learn, but directly said thank you, obviously he wanted to sit down and learn art.

Atkins smiled: "I don't like to owe favors, you saved me twice, and I should repay you." But I taught you, and I don't owe you anything, can you figure it out?"

"Yes!" Shen Yi readily agreed.

The principle of fairness, Shen Yi is not surprised by this.

It didn't help him to get a favor anyway, at best he was taking some assignments from Atkins.

He is not afraid that he will not be able to receive the task, so it is better to learn some skills.

The next moment, the bloody heraldic sounded with a voice that only Shen Yi could hear:

"Atkins decided to teach you the skills of a gunner. ”

"You can choose to study. ”

"1 Gun Skill: Concentrated Shooting, gathering energy to launch a powerful attack, causing multiplier normal damage. This skill consumes 3 mental power and has a base cooldown of 20 seconds. Deals up to five times the damage, with each double damage increase increasing mental power loss by 3 points and a 20 second cooldown. This skill cannot be upgraded, and can only be applied to energy-based firearm weapons. ”

"Learning this skill costs 50 Friendship and 15 Contribution. ”

"2 Gun Skills: Quickly gather energy, greatly increase the firing frequency of the energy gun, and cause a multiplier rate of fire. This skill consumes 3 mental power and lasts for 100 seconds. It can deal up to five times the boost, and for each double damage, it increases the mental power cost by 3 and reduces the duration by 20 seconds. This skill cannot be upgraded, and can only be applied to energy-based firearm weapons. ”

"Learning this skill costs 50 Friendship and 15 Contribution. ”

"1 Progressive Attack: Atkins' off-hand skill starting skill, quickly get close to the opponent and cause a 100% normal attack (damage can be weakened), with a 60% chance of successful dodge against normal attacks, a cooldown of one minute, and a mental power consumption of 2 points. ”

"Learning this skill costs 20 Friendship and 5 Contribution. ”

"2 Iron Shoulder Impact: Atkins' off-hand skill connects skills, using the shoulder to inflict blows on the target, the damage is 12% of the strength value, the damage is ordinary in nature, and causes a knockback effect. The cooldown time is one minute, and the mental power is consumed by 2 points. ”

"Learning this skill costs 20 Friendship and 5 Contribution. ”

"3 Spin Kick: Atkins' off-hand finishing skill, use your legs to attack after jumping, dealing twice the power damage to the target, and inflicting a knock effect and skill damage. The cooldown time is one minute, and the mental power is consumed by 2 points. This attack can be interrupted while jumping, inflicting a spell backlash. ”

"Learning this skill costs 20 Friendship and 5 Contribution. ”

Seeing the last finishing move, Shen Yi was also speechless.

No wonder it's called a finishing skill.,The power of this skill is okay.,But the probability of its skill being interrupted is too high.,If it's not launched on the basis of an iron shoulder impact.,It's really useless.。

Atkins' three off-hand skills are actually three combo skills, the only difference from the professional combo samurai is that it does not enjoy the combo bonus, and the skills in the front are only in the service of the success rate of the skills in the back.

But for Shen Yi, this is enough.

Five contribution points is five thousand blood points, and under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to buy a decent off-hand skill.

He doesn't use an energy gun now, so he gives up those two gun skills for the time being, but he is determined to get these three off-hand skills.

"I learn off-hand skills. Shen Yi replied.

――――――――――

Brush!

As the axe flashed, a thick white snake was cut in two, and the snake's head rolled to the ground, and after rolling out more than ten meters, it stopped at the gardener's feet, and a box flashed.

The gardener picked up the box and looked at the contents of it: "A spirit snake body method, an inner pill...... Brother Zhou, why do you only design Neidan as a reward?

Before King Kong could answer, Hong Lang had already wiped the blood on the axe and came over and said, "Because it's so simple." There are hundreds of bosses in the unparalleled world, thousands of demons, all of which have different rewards, and the design is very big!"

The gardener made a sweaty expression, this reason is too outrageous, right?

Still King Kong smiled: "It's a reason." Some things are easy to say, but not easy to do. Since the ability system needs to meet the needs, we can't ask the designers in the home world to design it, so we can only do it ourselves, but when we really get started, we find that it is actually a huge project to design thousands of abilities and equipment. But most importantly, there is no need to design so many capabilities. ”

"Is it not necessary?" asked the gardener in surprise.

"Yes, it's not necessary. Hong Lang strode over and punched the tree beside the gardener, which fell down with a babbling sound.

Hong Lang pointed to the big tree and said: "Look at this tree, if you hit it with a fist, if you cut it down with an axe, if you use a skill to hit it down, if you use your skills, if you hit it down...... Attacking is actually the easiest thing in the world, just use all your strength to defeat it! The so-called skills, no matter how strange they are, cannot be separated from this layer of categories. ”

The gardener understood what Hong Lang meant: "You mean, the means of attack are not diverse, anyway, it can cause damage, if the skill can be repeated, then two same attack skills and two different attack skills, the damage caused is not different, right?"

"That's it!" King Kong laughed.

The variability of attack skills is only meaningful for different defense systems, but it is far less significant. In addition to adapting to different forms, one of the most important reasons for adventurers' pursuit of multi-skills is the limitation of cooldown time.

If there is no cooldown limit, there will not be much difference in the damage effect of using ten consecutive moon shots and ten different attack skills in a row, regardless of special circumstances.

In contrast, the means of defense are different.

Attacks can be universal, and defenses can be universal, and the effectiveness will be greatly reduced. For the same investment, boosting offense is much higher than boosting defense. If the defense is targeted, it can play a big role, such as bulletproof props to complete armor-piercing bullets, but when a heavy machine gun hits, this bulletproof prop will be scrapped.

Because of this, once an adventurer's class skills have reached a certain level, there's no need to go for more - if you can only deal about ten effective attacks to enemies in a standard cooldown, that means you only need ten attack skills, and more is wasted.

In this case, the Broken Blade team really doesn't need to design too many attack skills, as long as they can meet the standards they need, and the rest of the rewards are for versatility and accumulation.

Inner Dan is a very practical reward, everyone can use it, and it can be accumulated, so it has become the main reward means, basically the monsters of the Xianxia Continent will give Inner Dan after death, at best, the cultivation years are different, and the effect of Inner Dan is different.

One of the main tasks of Hong Lang King Kong in the Xianxia Continent is to collect this kind of monster Neidan.

At this time, Hong Lang had already put away Neidan and the spirit snake body method: "This spirit snake body method is going to be left for Zhao Ling'er to use, so I won't give it to you, let's go, let's go to Wanshan Canyon to fight the willow tree spirit, that guy will give it to you when the time comes." ”

"Brother Hong is polite, I originally came to help, and I didn't take a share. The gardener said with a grin.

"In that case, then don't give it, and go back and sell it for money. Hong Lang replied casually.

The gardener's face immediately became bitter.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Hong Lang laughed: "Let's go, stinky boy, I'll tease you." ”

He put his arm around the gardener's shoulders and walked forward, not daring to look at Shi Mumu behind him.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the sky in the distance, "Fellow Daoists, please stay!"
